"The aim of this paper is to outline the history and the progress of the experimental and clinical works of these teams who addressed hormonal, chemical and thermal approaches to male contraception. These approaches have led to a better comprehension of spermatogenesis that could be useful in fields other than male contraception: effects of toxic compounds, fertility preservation."

Seminal plasma is a complex fluid that serves as a medium to carry, protect, and nourish spermatozoa after ejaculation up to fertilization, and as a functional modulator of spermatozoa function. Men are directly implicated in about 50% of couple infertility; however, in most cases of male infertility, the major treatment is female-oriented through Medically Assisted Reproductive Technologies (MART).

This article collection further explores the most recent research documenting the advancements in constitution, composition and functions of seminal plasma, the use of its components in the etiological diagnosis of male infertility, as well as its impacts on embryo’s implantation and ensuing pregnancy.

Male hormonal contraception has been an active area of research for almost 50 years. However, at present, there is still a gap in contraceptive options for couples, and more particularly, effective reversible contraceptives for men.

Editor's Quote

Roger Mieusset, Editor-in-Chief

"Andrology is important enough in human life for knowledge not to be restricted to a small community. Open access makes an article available freely available to anyone soon after it is accepted for publication. Accessibility to knowledge in andrology is not only required for all those involved in their everyday occupational life with male problems, but also for any scientific or medical teams. In this way, open access - and Basic and Clinical Andrology - is an open door in the andrological world."
